'Watchful Hare'
This is an original drawing of a brown hare listed by myself Gayle Mason I am a full member of the Society of Feline Artists and was short-listed for Wildlife Artist of the year in 2009.
I have used all artist quality materials, white coloured pencil on black Daler-Rowney paper and Winsor and Newton Artist watercolours for the eyes.
The paper size is approximately 12.00 x 10.50 inches, it will be backed and wrapped in a clear sleeve to protect it but is sold unmounted/unmatted and unframed so the buyer can frame to their own taste.
This is the start of a new series of white on black as a break from my usual highly detailed work.
My prints and originals are in private collections throughout Europe, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Russia and the USA.
Unfortunately I can only accept payment by Paypal for International buyers,
Please note that I have tried to be accurate with the colours but there can be some variation depending on your monitor.
A bit about me rather than the art:-
Gayle is an animal and wildlife artist who works in a realistic style. She has corporate and private collectors of her original paintings and giclee prints throughout the world.
Gayle developed a love of animals and the countryside as a child. She spent many happy hours watching animals and birds in the wilder parts of Lancashire and Yorkshire. A degree in Zoology from Liverpool University added an understanding of structure and form to the more intimate knowledge of behaviour she had gained from many hours of observation.
Gayle researches each animal or bird in as much detail as possible before painting or drawing them. She particularly enjoys portraying the detail in the fur and feathers of her subjects. A small stream has been created in her garden which together with two ponds and a small area sown with meadow flowers encourages visits by many species of birds and small mammals.
Each year, Gayle visits the North America to enjoy the remote places and seek inspiration from the wild animals she encounters - including wolves, coyotes and grizzly bears in Yellowstone and Black Bears and Moose in Canada. However she continues to get as much pleasure in the many small animals that she finds on her travels as the large impressive ones.
